The Gaming Den

By being so artistically challenged I could not draw Skippy, I saved 25 million.

I thought those games were based on his books. I remember reviewing them ages ago; the PC games came with an interview with him. He came across as so gawdawfully full of himself that I couldn't even stand to play the games.

Please Understand Me II

It's a big love-in for the Myers-Briggs personality test...thing reads like astrology, however. It's been a while since I read the I Ching, but tempted to go back and see if there's that much difference.

Oh c'mon, if you're doing the thieve's guild, the skeleton key isn't all that good for you (doesn't it prevent you gaining locksmith skill?); if you're in the guild, you can buy all the picks you want and should get the hang of lockpicking anyway. There is a randomized quest system; it's most notice...

I didn't think it was even theoretically possible to play AD&D raw. Hasn't someone somewhere sat down and compiled a list of the rules contradictions/inanities that pretty much force you to houserule about a second before rolling initiative? I know somewhere there's an example of exactly what a ...

Yeah, can't hardly wait for XCOM again; I played the Borderlands 2 demo, was pretty smooth (alas, had to play on a PS3 controller, so could hardly do any better than the booth babe).

I'll go for incompetence. My new employee orientation course lasted two weeks . Never underestimate administrative incompetence. We're hiring two faculty in my department over the summer, and, wanting to have some influence over who I'd be working with, I ask to be on the selection committee (even ...

Only when played optimally by both players.

And then you'll also have to make your mysteries things that a Vulcan mind meld can't solve.

Condolences.

Weird, I found sagecrafting/smithing pretty disappointing. I suppose I might have been able to make something better than what I could find/buy, but even on hard the game was a walkthrough, and there was never an ability that I thought I really needed but couldn't just buy. I had well over a million...

Wow, that's quite the memory lane of bnoardgames...shame I sold so many of them off. I still have Dungeon!, though, in decent shape considering.

What? Hypocrisy and religion co-existing? I'm shocked, shocked.

Ditto here...you didn't achieve balance by "rocks fall" on the weaker classes. You achieved balance by giving a "+5 axe of uber resistance" or the like to the weaker classes.

Yeah, we could use someone coherent to 'dissect' these things. No volunteers? Guess I'm not the only one that just doesn't see the need to care much right now.

as long as they arent wooden, then hand soap and water. if you have a bag onion came in, you could put the dice in it then dip it a few times in some warm soapy water and the "grime" should come off, then just run the bag under a faucet to rinse and let the bag of dice dry. for stuck on g...

And the inches notation didn't just mean inches. Underground, 1" was 10 feet, above ground, it was 10 yards.

Even the Paladin's Protection from Evil was 1", not 10 foot, radius.

I dunno, that last pillow thing looks like a self-execution device.

And making sure those pencils are organized properly would be a total bitch.

No more quoting that movie, I mean it!

I played one enchanter game....those snakes are pretty awesome, but crystal golems are the bomb. When crystal golems kill things, they turn into crystals---free defensive forces scattered all over the map. Granted they aren't that great, but its annoy to capture a village, and have to run back three...

I've been at it a while myself and...yuck. I hate the 'game over' ending, hate the lack of any strategy in combate, hate there's no way to run, hate the miserably weak early game, hate the incredible myopia, hate the swarming deer/whatever that can casually take over vilages, and hate the half a doz...

Yah, looks like it's not exactly unexpected and unplanned for.

Wow, I had no idea Compleat Strategist was still around.

IMO the BaneGuard shoulda been called the War-warrior....then maybe it would have been more obvious as a parody.

When something has so little you can take seriously, apparently you need to put extra effort into anything you say about it that you intend to be a joke.
